SSBA Standards
The SSBA Standards, dated July 2011, are in force from
1 July 2011.
Security Risk Template
The Security Risk Template (SRT) was developed as a tool to assist the regulated community to ensure that all risks associated with handing SSBAs have been identified and treated. Following feedback from the regulated community, the SRT has been revised to harmonise with current security risk management frameworks. The new SRT (Version 1 – February 2011) has a new format and has been designed to meet the requirements of Part 2 of the SSBA Standards dealing with the risk assessment and risk management plans.
Internal Review Tool
The Internal Review Tool (IRT) has been developed to assist entities and facilities to monitor compliance with the SSBA Standards. The IRT has a series of questions based on the requirements of the SSBA Standards with a simple check box system of Yes/No and comments, and each section also includes questions about recommended practices and procedures.
